Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff?

Seibertron member reluctantyouth has sighted the highly anticipated Transformers Generations: Fall of Cybertron Deluxe wave 3 figures at retail! The figures were spotted at a Toys"R"Us location in Peoria, IL 61615. This wave features Ultra Magnus, Starscream, Kickback, Sideswipe, and Air Raid. As you can see in reluctantyouth's images below, Transformers Prime "Beast Hunters" Wave one was also on hand. Happy hunting!

Thanks El Duque for posting this news and my pics so quickly! I didn't think i would find these figures so soon at this TRU in Peoria. The store was pretty wiped out of new stuff after Christmas and the entire top shelf was empty of boxes for the first time in months. It looked like my store only got 1 case of FOC Wave 3 and Prime BH and I just got lucky. I did post this news a couple of days ago but did not take pictures until today when I purchased another Lazerback.

The TRU here said they are doing inventory so they don't see themselves getting any more for 2 months

Two months? Ouch.

Strange, I don't think inventory takes two months... My mother works as a loss-prevention (security) manager at my local Sears, and their inventory takes a couple days. At least, that's what I scraped up. Don't judge me, I'm an aspiring Marine tanker, not a retail employee.

Yes my TRU has an obscene amount of DOTM stuff clogging the shelves as you can see in my pics. I have not seen our local Hasbro rep of late...if I see her I will definitely ask her about what will happen with DOTM. The Peoria area Walmarts are overstocked with FOC wave 1 or Prime Wave 1...no DOTM left really. But Peoria Target just got a stock off DOTM deluxe special buy two packs for $9.99...Target here sucks too...there is a Super Target coming Spring 2013 and I hope it is better stocked and the area is managed properly.

I am torn because of Magnus. On the one hand, I think he works better for that mold than Prime does. On the hand, he's so dang small!

so thats where all of the last wave of DOTM figures went to. But anyway i see they're still charging $16 for a deluxe so it looks like i wont be getting any of these. Doesnt matter anyway only ones i care about are Soundwave, Soundblaster & the data discs. Yeah i would like to at least have 1 of the FoC guys but they are to small &/or to expensive. Ill just wait for clearances or sales like ive been doing.

I'll have to say, the Takara version is most impressive. However, I think the Takara uses the toy accurate blue, and the Hasbro version uses the G1 cartoon blue, similar to how MP-10/Toys "R" Exclusive Optimus Prime was differentiated.

While Combat Hero Optimus could be a potential suit, keep in mind that both the original canceled figure and the Generations figure that homages said canceled product both lack the sufficient amount of white that helps define Ultra Magnus.
